What is the meaning of the numbers in the BPEJ code?

Soil and climate conditions are expressed by a five-digit code consisting of more than 2,000 different combinations. These combinations are used to describe the specific characteristics of agricultural soils in different habitats, in terms of various factors such as soil-ecological, genetic, geological, climatic, hydrological and geomorphological.

The climatic conditions are indicated by the first number of the five-digit code and are divided into warmer and drier areas numbered 0-5 and cooler and wetter areas numbered 6-9. This code indicates the climatic region that is important for growing agricultural crops
The second and third numbers of the five-digit code indicate the main soil unit of the classification system and group the genetic soil types. The fourth code number indicates the slope and exposure of the soil and influences the quality of the resulting BPEJ
Slope affects soil management and exposure affects vegetation conditions on the land
The fifth code number indicates the skeleton and depth of the soil and affects soil functions and management options

It is important to keep the BPEJ in mind when selecting agricultural land, as this affects its characteristics.
